What is to be expected after the foundation?
Authorities:
After your German company has been registered with the German trade register and with the city where your company is seated, various German authorities and institutions will automatically be informed about this new foundation of your German company. And this leads to a whole lot of correspondence.
The city of your German seat will contact you concerning the forecast for the income tax types. The tax authority will also contact you, to point out the obligated registration at the tax register and concerning the regular advance VAT declarations and tax statement. The Employers Liability Insurance Association will want to know how many employees your German company is hiring, so that your contribution can be determined. And for this you need to use the number which will be passed on to you by the employment agency, another formal letter.
In short, it is to be expected that after the foundation of your new German company, many instances will contact you and ask for information that need to be filed in a swift and proper way.
Tax adviser:
As soon as you develop economic activities on German soil, you become subject to the German tax system. Hence, it is important to soon take care of registering your German company at the tax authority, to receive your national and international VAT-number. Besides, your company needs to file a tax declaration on a monthly basis, which can only be done by using the appropriate software. As to avoid unnecessary mistakes and annoyances, we strongly advise that you engage a German bookkeeper / tax adviser who takes care of this.
Transparency Register:
Due to the European legislation on Anti-Money-Laundering, all beneficial owners of your GmbH must be registered in the so-called “Transparenzregister”, also known as UBO or Transparency Register.
